Question

In the following argument, determine the validity or otherwise of the Statement: 

a) If you aren’t polite, you won’t be treated with respect. You aren’t treated with respect. Therefore, you aren’t polite.    

Answer 1

Let p denotes "You aren’t polite" and q denotes "You aren’t be treated with respect". Then the premises are $p\to q$ and $q$. If $p$ is false and $q$ is true, then the premises are true, but conclusion is false. Therefore, the arguments do not determine the validity of the Statement.
